Strengthening Society's Resilience with Civil Defense
In this episode of the GOVSI podcast, we discuss civil defense. Together with Boštjan Pavlin, the Director General for Defense Affairs at the Ministry of Defense, we explain the essence of civil defense and the difference between civil defense and civil protection.
These are two separate subsystems of national security: civil protection is intended for responding to natural disasters, while civil defense is aimed at addressing complex crises and events. Certain elements and measures designed for ensuring civil defense were activated, for example, during mass migrations and the COVID-19 pandemic. According to our guest, Slovenia is well-prepared for various other potential complex crises of the modern era as well.
We invite you to listen to and watch the podcast, hosted this time by Zoran Potič.
